Cyber crime in case someone is trying to log into google account
11-Dec-2023 (In Cyber Crime Law)
Hi someone on many occations tried to log into my google account and also my wifes email account ,and few times google send me alert and prevented such logging while google ,linkedin,gmail have forwarded me IP address from where the login were tried.I can assume a person but not confirmed..what kind of cyber crime allegation I can bring.
Sir,
IP addresses can be spoofed and /or proxy IP address can be used to hack account making it difficult for tracking. However with experts they can be tracked.
Would recommend changing your password to a more secure password immediately and also your security questions. I normally recommend changing passwords every month at the least.
You can file a complaint with the cyber crime division with proof that attempts have been made to hack your account. Also you can send a mail to the mail providers notifying them of the attempts.
With gmail you have a feature that shows IP address of where login has happened and you can use that to make sure no one else has been able to login without your knowledge.
Also make sure someone has not set up email forwarding on your account as that allows all incoming mail to be sent to that user as well without having to login.
Hope this helps.

Yes it's cyber crime if someone tries to access your email,social media accounts etc.For that you need to make formal complaint stating full details of your allegations before the IT cell Department of your Local police station.You can bring allegation about unauthorized access to your email account as per section 43 of the Information Technology Act of 2000.
Thanks.
